Talk about minimalist, this must be the week of minimalist brain waves in the designer department! This is a lamp based on a log in a fireplace; you push down on it to turn it on, it lights up. Push down on it again, off it goes.

LOG lamp. Inspiration has come from a burning log in a fireplace. Press the wood block down and it pops up to expose the light. Press it again and it switches the light off.
Materials: various types of wood
Finishing: wood wax

A late night release of today’s Daily Lamp — today’s selection is a really ridiculously simple lamp from Paul Loebach called Shanty Lamp — and as Paul says, Shanty Lamp is “a small triangular-shaped wood lamp in yellow pine, reminiscent of a small wooden fort.” Nothing fancy about that, right?

Shanty Lamp runs about $89 bucks, and needs a 5W lamp. I’m assuming LED or really low power what-have-you. Paul designed this lamp for Areaware in NYC.

Nina Tolstrup had a pretty interesting idea, you have to give it to her for reuse and originality – she took some old reclaimed wooden pallets, tore them apart, milled a spot inside of the 1″ wood components, and made luminaires.

Simple, in every respect of the word!

Nina’s 1X1 series comes in the three standard forms (well, three of the four): table lamp, hanging lamp, floor lamp. Check out some images below, and make sure to check out Studiomama, Nina’s studio website.
